What’s More American than Nascar, Hotdogs, The Grateful Dead, and Baseball … or a Good Book

Summertime brings with it hot sticky days filled with traditional pastimes. Images of brightly colored sno-cones sold from sidewalk shacks, baseball games and hot dogs under the stars, homemade ice cream while watching the 4th of July fireworks, classic rock-n-roll blasting from a radio as the car is washed, popsicles, bike rides, beach picnics, surfing … the list could go on and on and on.

But one image is consistently seen in nearly every summertime postcard, Norman Rockwell painting, or favorite photo — the smile on the face of a person or child who lies in the grass under the shade of a large tree with a book in his hand. It’s one of my favorite reflections. Of course, spend any day walking along a beach and count the number of people with their noses in books — they rival those lying under trees.

For authors, this means they are needed — their stories fill in a valued spot in the tradition of summertime reading. Creativity at its best can be found between the pages of a good book and never more than during the summer is a writer’s imagination valued than during those sweltery days in July.
